First Aid in The Workplace

First Aid in the Workplace, 6th Edition

A worker falls a distance of over 20 metres. A manual labourer is hit by a forklift machine. A cook is splattered with boiling oil. A co-worker suddenly has difficulty breathing. What should you do?

Accidents happen fast. This means that you have to be ready to act quickly and efficiently in emergency situations. The casualty's life may depend upon it; thus, the actions taken by first aiders in the workplace are therefore of crucial importance.

A basic training tool developed by the Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CSST), the First Aid in the Workplace manual offers first aiders a well-structured, efficient intervention plan that will help them respond appropriately in emergencies. Concise texts and numerous illustrations cover key topics such as the survey, resuscitation and first aid techniques to be applied when people are suffering from emergency medical conditions or trauma.

This First Aid in the Workplace also includes:

the new Heart and Stroke Foundation of Québec standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
a section on defibrillation and the use of automated external defibrillitors (AED)
a section on stress management in emergency situations, and additional information on oxygen therapy

First Aid in the Workplace is therefore an essential part of the process first aiders follow in acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to intervene effectively.

First Aid in the Workplace is a reference document useful for anyone who may be required to administer first aid in emergency situations. A manual designed to be read and reread periodically... to ensure readiness at all times.

This manual comes with the Practical Guide for First Aiders in The Workplace: Intervention Protocols. Easy to use, this handy reminder booklet helps first aiders quickly find the information they need to provide first aid effectively.
